Artdeco's Instant Skin Perfector is a wondrous example of how a single product can make a vital difference to your beauty regime.

It emerges from the tube as a simple white cream and looks nothing special as you're applying it.

But within a short space of time a mini-miracle happens. The cream leaves a beautiful sheen and a glowing complexion in its wake.

Because the product contains tiny specs of color pigment, you're left with an even skin tone with zero effort. The act of gently applying the cream to your face releases the colour from miniscule globules and the final result is a marvel.

It's actually possible to skip foundation if you're a fan of a natural finish to your makeup. It would also be perfect for holidays when you don't want too much foundation on your face.

The ingredients include rocket leaf extract, porcelain flower extract and seaweed extract, all of which have renowned nourishing properties.

Artdeco has been around for the last three decades and has been the market leader in Germany for the last 15 years. Take a look at its website here and you'll see the extent of its range, all presented in beautiful packaging.

Too good to resist

Some of the products in the Artdeco range are just too alluring to resist.

You'll find skincare, nail products and an array of makeup. I also love the fact that there's helpful guides to skincare and makeup application. There are even video tutorials.

For me, skilled eyeshadow application remains a challenge so I tried Artdeco's all-in-one eye primer to see if it would help. It does. It's like slipping on a silk petticoat to make your dress look smooth - your lid is left soft and crease-free ready for your eyeshadow.

I also found my shadow stayed looking good for longer. That's because the primer in this fabulous little pot leaves your eyeshadow smudge-proof.

What's more it can be used on its own. The delicate colour of the primer leaves the lid looking loved but not overdone.

I tried using Artdeco skin perfector and eye primer with no other products or makeup other than mascara and delighted in my new fresh-faced glow.
